Q&A for How to Moonwalk

If you put your mind to it, it might only take a few hours. But don't give up if it takes longer! You'll master it soon enough with some patience and dedication.

That depends on how quickly you catch on! It might only take a couple hours to master in socks. Move on to sneakers when you feel like you have it down in socks on a slick floor.

It shouldn't take that long if you practice a lot. Just make sure you get every step, but know that you won't be as good as MJ on your first try.

No, you don't have to be flexible at all.

The move was performed using special shoes with a groove. The purpose of this groove was to catch a nail on the floor, enabling the lean.

You should try and get shoes with a flat toe, which you are able to stand on your toes without falling. Practice standing on you toes for at least 7 seconds every day. Remember, practice, practice, and PRACTICE.

Keep watching his dancing videos over and over again, then you practice, you can put your device next to you, and copy exactly what he is doing, with practice you would be able to get there

Smooth Criminal or Black and White are great for moonwalking!

You probably can't. He was a master of the moonwalk. That said, there isn't any reason why you couldn't master it as well, with plenty of practice and focus.

it is true, Michael didn't invent the moon walk, it was Cooley and Caszper who invented it on soul train, MJ just innovated it.

He used nothing more than penny loafers. You can moonwalk in just about any shoe with little friction.

As long as you have the range of movement to do the move, there's no reason why not.

Yes, you can as long as you practice vigilantly.

Yes, he invented and patented them for his Smooth Criminal concerts. The shoes allowed him to bend at an angle with ease.

No, he doesn't, he wears high-top shoes. As a beginner, you should start with socks. Once you master it, try shoes.

No, he always used his real voice.

He was 50 years old when he died of cardiac arrest and a propofol overdose.

Try adding flow to your pace. The stride should be about a foot. Arch all the way to your toes when you get good at it.

Try to massage them before practicing to help with toe twitching and pain. To massage them, I recommend rubbing your toes in a circular motion with a good grip.

Defying gravity without strings, shoes, etc. is clearly impossible. If you want to lean, you must have some object supporting your body weight.

MJ did it by putting nails in the ground and putting notches in his shoes. There is no alternative way to do it.

Michael Jackson loved darker colors. He had two favorites, black and red.

Michael Jackson was one of the most famous entertainers there is. He was mostly known for his talent in dancing and singing, and started at a very early age with the Jackson 5. Unfortunately, his personal home doctor overdosed him on a drug that was supposed to be used for after-surgery pain for a sleep medication. He died at the age of 50.

Yes, you should be able to as long as you make sure to train your feet to be pointed straight out to do the move.

Yes, you can, but friction can make it harder. Try to keep your feet on the ground more.

The faster you are the better. Keep practicing! Also, don't forget to add some hand and neck movement, it makes you look fantastic.

You need a surface that is hard but smooth, like stage floors.

With the right settings, the moonwalk can be the coolest dance move around. Add the right music and some thrills (It also doesn't hurt to have a hat).

You can't, your legs won't support your weight leaning out that far and you might fall down.

This is probably the easiest option. As this as simplified as possible, it should not take long for you to perfect.
